Bargnani has been sidelined since mid-December with an elbow injury. In 21 games this season, he has averaged 16.0 points per game.

The Raptors welcomed back another injured player Friday, as centre Jonas Valanciunas returned to the lineup after missing time with a broken finger.

On the year, the Raptors are 17-30.
